60% of Republicans say they're worse off than a year ago even though the economy has boomed over the past 12 months:

  • The prime age labor force participation rate is up 0.3 points to the highest level in 20 years
  • Real GDP per capita is up 2.5%
  • Real wages are up 1.5%
  • Savings are up 5.7%
  • Inflation is down 1.3 percentage points to 2.4%
  • Real spending per person is up $1,100

Real wages are up 1.5% but the cost of everything over the last 3.5 years has jumped over 20% higher. Some things considerably higher. Real spending per person would indicate that a family of four is spending thousands more a year over what they spent in 2020 for the same things.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Yup, Democrat party has those traits and more importantly, they actually put those inclinations into practice when they govern.
Watch the history of the Russian revolution and how the Bolsheviks ran the government under Lenin and Stalin especially. It’s a primer for the current democrat playbook. The similarities are frightening.

Asking a TOUGH question. There is this word thrown about. I wasn’t clear on its definition but here goes. Does Trump have the traits of a FACIST?
(a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism)
highlighted verbiage answers your question . Our system does not allow anyone to have complete power.
Trumps first term proves he did not meet that definition.

on a broader scale many presidents in the past with FDR possibly being the most famous have tested our system in the past in an attempt to establish complete control and failed. our system has repelled those efforts.

our constitution and system repels that argument without prejudice.
